Nine months after a commission offered its recommendations on how to improve the state’s juvenile justice system, Pennsylvania Chief Justice Ronald D. Castille provided for the first time yesterday a road map for the court’s implementation of some of those changes.
Castille, on behalf of the court, noted in a press release and a “progress report” that the justices are awaiting 11 proposed changes from various rules committees. It appears that seven of those proposed changes stem from the recommendations released by the Interbranch Commission on Juvenile Justice in May 2010.
